Hendricks Gin (750ml) Valpolicella The Siro Pacenti 2016 Brunello

The Siro Pacenti 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS is modern

all wrapped in muscular finish that displays excellent persistence

and also less expressive than it was from barrel

simple and pleasant

very sweet and thick

Hendricks Gin (750ml) Valpolicella The Siro Pacenti 2016 BrunelloThis gin has a fierce following, in part because of its quirky brand personality (see the Monty Python esque website) and aggressive marketing among bartenders. But it lives up to the hype. Some might expect a more concentrated rosewater cucumber profile, but its relatively subtle, with just a hint of cucumber mingling with juniper in the aroma, and white pepper, citrus and floral notes on the lingering finish.
